Relationship between resilience, psychological well-being and family satisfaction in university students attended in university psychological care services

Keywords: resilience, psychological well-being, family satisfaction, university students, psychological services

Abstract

The objective of the research was to analyze the relationship between resilience, psychological well-being and family satisfaction in university students who have attended the psychological care service of a Chilean university, with the understanding that these variables may be protective factors of mental health and that they favor the adaptive and functional development of individuals. The research has a correlational scope and has a non-experimental cross-sectional design. A total of 123 students participated in the study. The instruments used were the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale and the Olson and Wilson Family Satisfaction Scale. The results show significant correlations between the three core variables of the study, being particularly strong between psychological well-being and resilience, but with a more moderate strength between these variables and family satisfaction. It is concluded that it would be possible to intervene in the strengthening of resilience as a factor promoting student psychological well-being in the population using psychological services, taking as a reference the functionality and satisfaction with the family.
